Just a few quick housekeeping things: I’m getting to the backlog of emails, so if you wrote to me any time in the past few months and still haven’t heard back, please bear with me, I’ll get there eventually. Also, given the huge amount of comment spam that I’m still getting, comments will effectively be […]

I’m sorry, did I say 2 weeks? I really meant to say 3 months…
But I’m back from my little vacation, rested and relaxed and with a whole stack of things to get caught up on, like wading through emails and trying to figure out how to get rid of 2500 viagra-gambling-cheap-meds spam comments. If you […]

A friend just told me about this small Baha’i publisher called Dawntide Inspired Publishing. Based in South Africa, they offer a small collection of beautifully designed books, music, games, e-cards, and more. And free shipping on orders over $25.
(thanks to Leila for the tip)

A while back I put up a post about a myspace group dedicated to those who wanted to be able to list ‘Baha’i’ as their religion (myspace offers 14 religion options, but Baha’i isn’t one of them). Well, it seems that someone has figured out a little hack. Special thanks to myspace hacker pedur for […]

This long article, “Where is the Special Relativity Train Taking its Scientific and Religious Believers?” examines some challenges to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, taking into particular account the perspective of various religions and how Einstein’s ideas square with the brand of cosmology offered in the scriptures of their faith.

The section on religion is introduced […]

Spurred by the popularity of a new Bollywood thriller, 88 Antop Hill, Indian news site Mid Day has just published an article about an unusual cemetery in the Antop Hill area of Mumbai (Bombay).

The mortal remains of many a Chinese, Bahai, Muslim, Hindu, Armenian and British inhabitants of Mumbai have found their final resting […]

Well, the month of fasting for Bahá’ís has been over for a couple of weeks now, but Lent still has a couple of weeks left, so it’s timely for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to publish this article titled “A Question of Fasting” that surveys faiths and their fasts, included are three statements on fasting — one […]

Since there have been so many posts about Iran here lately, I thought it was time to mix things up a bit and feature some other country.

So, I thought I would point out this link to the Afghan Bahá’í web site that a commenter left on another post a couple of days ago.

Though the site […]

I don’t know how long the site has been around but I just discovered Bahá’í Video, which has a bunch of embedded movies as well as a few photo sets. A lot of the videos are interviews about the Bahá’í Faith, some giving a general introduction and others more personal, with people talking about their […]

Bahá’í Research is a new web-based tool for accessing holy writings of the Bahá’í Faith and other religions. Those familiar with the Ocean research tool will recognize a lot here, since the texts are ported over and the interface is very similar. This web-based application does have a few features that Ocean doesn’t, notably you […]

Ok, this is the last study circle related oddity that I’m going to post, I promise. But I really just couldn’t help myself.
For me the best part of the scene is the guy right at the bottom, with all the crossed out squares and triangles in his booklet…

Here are a few more Baha’i blogs for your perusal. These are especially for those of you that haven’t yet realized that english is actually the world auxiliary language (keep your shirts on, everyone knows that “the internet” is actually the world auxiliary language…) First off, there’s the mostly-in-Portuguese-but-sometimes-english Povo de Baha, (which is an […]

Just in case that last post didn’t tell you all that you needed to know about study circles, perhaps The Study Circle at Pooh Corner will help clear things up. Or… perhaps not:

It was then that Piglet had one of those special Moments. He imagined it was the same sort of moment that a great […]

So I can’t even keep up with mr george wesley over at Baha’i Views, so I thought I should just also let you know that he’s great at keeping up with the murmurings of the blogosphere, posting all manner of blogs that mention the Faith. A great example of his many updates of blogging Baha’is […]

I can’t say that I really know what to make of this column by ordained minister George Plagenz in the Martinsville Reporter-Times. Little more than a book report for William Sears’ ‘Thief in the Night’, the column runs back over Sears’ investigations into the Great Disappointment and his subsequent discovery of the Baha’i […]

Ok, so since I got in so much trouble for keeping Baha’i Views to myself for so long, I guess I’d better share a few more baha’i blogs that I read:

doberman pizza. a baha’i blog. is the first Baha’i blog that I read and still one of my first stops every morning.

The adventrues of […]

Alright, I’d better come clean: Back in January the wondrous magical internet dropped a blog into my rss reader called Baha’i Views - Pithy excerpts on the issues of of the day. So I checked it out. And it was cool, but I was really thinking: fine fine, another new years resolution blog that’s […]

Just a quick post to respond to San who wrote in asking about prayers for fasting online. Well, you can find the entire US prayer book (which, of course, includes a few prayers for the fast) at the the Baha’i refernece library or you can just dowload the whole book as a […]

Ok, so I have no idea what’s going on over here, but since they keep mentioning the Baha’i Faith, I figure it’s my job to point it out to you.
Basically, there’s a site called *sigh* The Blingdom of God (I know, I know…) And they have all these posts up about, ahem, religious bling.
…
Let me […]

Because you’ve all been so patient while I was away, I thought I’d pass on this cute little vid of five of Hollywood’s biggest voices riding in a car together.
Once you stop trying to figure out those are really their voices or if it’s a movie about voice over actors being voiced over by other […]

Earlier this month Britain’s Channel 4 aired The Root of All Evil? a two-part exploration of religious faith hosted and narrated by Richard Dawkins. Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist and ‘the world’s most famous out-of-the-closet living atheist’ (Salon, annoying ad viewing required) is not known as a lover of religion, but come on, finding a Christian […]

9 Days, 19 days what’s the difference right?
I apologize for the quiet blog, but I’ve been in a bit of a pilgrimage decompression for the past couple of weeks and am just getting rolling again. Catching up with work and trying to get focused. But anyway.
And I see that some of you have been calling […]

I’m heading off for pilgrimage. So posting will be light non-existent for the next nine days. I’ll let you know how it goes.
If you can’t wait that long, you can go and download the entire pilgrimage video, and get a bit of an idea. That cute little Irish girl talking about the Shrine of […]

And along the same sign-up-for-all-kinds-of-bahai-internet-groups line of that last post, let me draw your attention to the we-want-Baha’i-in-our-profile myspace group. The goal of the we-want-Baha’i-in-our-profile group is, I’m sure you can imagine, to get-Baha’i-in-their-myspace-profiles (today is hyphen day here at Baha’i blog. As part of the dear-goodness-it’s-3am-and-I-should-be-in-bed theme of this post). If you’re a myspace […]

This is one of those ‘two birds, one stone’ kind of posts where I get to tell you that, first, all of you flickr users should make sure to sign up for the Baha’i group because, um… that would be rad. And secondly, that said Baha’i group is looking for submissions for a photo collage […]
